Fundraising Auctions

Adding a sports memorabilia auction to your fundraising event is one of the most effective ways to captivate your audience, create excitement, and generate significant revenue for your organization.

Sports and entertainment memorabilia have a unique ability to connect with people on an emotional level. Whether your guests are lifelong fans, former athletes, alumni, corporate sponsors, or passionate supporters of your cause, authentic collectibles inspire enthusiastic bidding and friendly competition—all while supporting a mission that matters.

At Cardboard Memories, we help turn that passion into fundraising success.

For decades, we have partnered with charities, foundations, schools, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations to provide an exceptional selection of 100% authentic sports and entertainment memorabilia for live auctions, silent auctions, golf outings, galas, and special events. Every autographed item comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, giving your supporters complete confidence in every bid they place.

Our extensive inventory features some of the most sought-after names in sports and entertainment, allowing us to customize auction packages that fit your event's audience, theme, and goals.

Terms & Agreements

At Cardboard Memories Sports Memorabilia Auctions and Fundraisers, our main objective is to raise money for you!! Unlike many companies, we do not take a percentage of the sales. Everything at Cardboard Memories is done up front.

The way it works is as follows:

  1. All sports memorabilia items are on consignment, so there is no risk.
  2. A Cardboard Memories representative will personally oversee each and every event.
  3. Example: Item X costs the charity $150. Charity starts the silent bid at $200. Three scenarios can occur.

  • A. Item gets no bid, and is returned at no cost to the organization.
  • B. Item gets minimum bid of $200 and charity makes a $50 profit.
  • C. Item gets bid up, for example, to $700 and the charity would clear a $550 profit.
